Shownotes

Marcus worries that AI will make his years of experience irrelevant. A competitor who uses AI well might move faster, but the question is how to use the tools while protecting what clients value about working with him.

This episode explores deliberate AI adoption. Identify the tasks that drain your time, test one tool against your customer experience, and decide which part of the relationship should stay fully human.
